The spoken lesson
"Where are your eyes? Your eyes are on your face. Eyes help you see. You can see a familiar face. You can see a colorful ball. You can see pictures in a book. You can see light and movement around you. Your eyes can open. Your eyes can close. Your eyelids blink to help protect your eyes and keep them comfortable. Look slowly to one side. Now look toward the other side. Caregiver, point gently to your eyes, and then to the child's eyes. Eyes help us look, notice, and learn." DESIGN REQUIREMENTS: Use large pictures, slow movement, high contrast without harsh brightness, and no flashing. Avoid tiny moving objects, fast animations, or visual clutter. Include a visible pause button.

Make it real
Pause, point, name what you notice, and connect the idea to something familiar in your child's day. Repetition, a calm voice, shared attention and dependable care matter more than finishing quickly.
